not surprising, they are undercutting YHI network pricing, supposedly ban from YHI already, so even if they can get new stocks, will be grey imports which again, not surprising on the price.

aaaaahhh...no wonder...... in that case... anyone wants to buy 95% 205/50/15 Federal 595 RS-R? hahahahahahha

looking back, a year ago you were the first person to reply to this thread... so bila la

a year ago i just bought the RSR right before the AD08R came out... car very rarely moves (max 100km a week...n thats only IF it moves that week) which is why the RSR is still at 95% hahahah

might have to sell it soon though.. some very recent changes to the car is causing my front wheel to stick out of the fender even at -2.1 camber...and scrubbing. so might have to go for 195/50/15 if pushing to -3.5 still doesnt clear

i feel you man...

this happened at sepang:

sakit hati as f***

time to roll.... and pull maybe...

but mine was fine in sepang.... my problem is caused by this recent change (after SIC)




which is causing this

well me/friend did pull, it worked. but damage done

On my 2nd set now, but different size - 265/35/18.

Just to share some quick thoughts/review on my previous set of 235/40/18.
1. Daily driven mileage of 20,000kms + 3 track days with a total laps of approximately 50-53 laps & countless of karak-gohtong touge runs

2. Ran on the track with a max of 40psi and the tyres still hold up very well. I find it best to run it on 36-38psi after warmed up

3. Adhesion limit - even I ran hot for continuously for 8 laps, did not feel the greasy feeling

4. Tyre grip was progressively consistent on dry grip. Braking starts to feel inefficient went tyre threads were near the TWI. But still sufficient to slow down effectively on daily driven/street spirited runs

5. Personally, I felt the sidewalls are stiff enough. I wear out the outside of the tyres so much more compared to the inside tyre. Center tyre wear is very healthy/still plenty. I ran camber of -2.5 front and -1.5 rear on track days. Daily driven, front -1.5 and rear -1.0

6. NVH/tyre noise - closing to the TWI, the tyres roars! No fix to this except to pump the volume on your stereo yo!

7. Price vs grip vs mileage - I paid rm860 (i think) for my previous 235/40/18. Comparing this with my previous experience of Achilles 123S of RM500 a piece. Though the price is a premium of 70%, i get double the mileage, 30-35 more laps at track time and a very consistent grip throughout the tyre wear.

Adding to the injury - I am another happy and ever satisfied AD08R user and also very pleased with continuous support. Looking forward for the next track outing to break my 2.41.02 personal best as I believe the car is now on another notch up the uber level. Just kidding!

thanks for the feedback bro!

i believe a friend of mine is very interested in the mileage/wear rate and your feedback definitely helped! nightstalker1993

Damn, now I'm even more tempted. My NS2R's lasted like half of what my R1R did...

Not to mention this is some of the fastest street tyre you can get
But fix your engine first else can't even jalan also

engine early edi fix lorr. halfway running in liao

lol looks like well known jor

Semua ada FB bro.... tunggu you jerr

Glad my feedback could help in deciding whether to try out the AD08R.

If you would like to see a living proof of my tyres - the tyres and rims is still at nestum's place as I did not have the time to pick it up last Saturday. Just drop by and ask him to show you the Enkei's wrapped with AD08r.

It took me quite a while to decide whether or not to use back AD08R as I always wanted to try new tyres. But the fact that the previous set served me well, I did not want to take my chance and wanted to test it further as I have had my entire handling tuned but not track tested yet. I guess next in line would be Hankook RS3 and Toyo R1R.

lol i need to rotate my shitty cc5 on my inspira anyways so will be dropping by nestum place some time soon XD

btw, i have similar dilemma as you , however the tires that pitched against the ad08r weren't widely available unfortunately

was really looking forward on giving the bridgestone RE11-A/Dunlop Direzza ZII a shot as well particularly the RE11-A as it has asymmetric pattern which could be interesting cornering on tracks like sepang

then again, different experience with my inspira compared to iswara, so i'll probably be on my second set of ad08r although it'll be on a different car. will probably need this baseline if i were to compare against other tires like the re11-a anyways.

Interesting, I thought the R1R is placed lower than the AD08R's? I went from R1R to NS2R, and now going to AD08R's. R1R lasted me around 6 months+ on my front and a year on the rear.

So you have changed new rim to run 265 width AD08R??
Show some picture

terus 225/45/17

forget about rotate
